I think that games and consoles were immune to the price hike...

The UK had a VAT cut before Christmas. The price of the consoles have not changed to reflect this. This means that either the stores or the manufacturers are making more profit now.

I thought you were also talking about that report about Sony raising UK prices due to the weak pound. If I had to bet, I'd say the stores are raking in the dough. It's just a 5 pound difference though.

That £5 difference equated to an extra £97,395 last week on just the PS3's hardware. All the other hardware + software, it should be making quite a difference on the ol' balance sheets.
